India recently toured Sri Lankan Island where they played a three-match T20I series followed by a three-match ODI series. The T20I series was full of joy for the visitors but the home team took a satisfying revenge in the ODI series.
Despite the comeback of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and other ODI specialists, India lost the ODI series 2-0 in the three-match ODI series. The first match resulted in a tie, followed by a good finish by Shivam Dube and a big miss by Arshdeep Singh. India lost the second and third ODI while chasing 240s at the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
The Sri Lankans were the underdogs for the series. Injured Sri Lanka were anyhow trying to assemble their bowling powerhouses to give any competition to the visiting team but look how they come up to the rescue when it mattered the most. As most of the pacers were missing out on the series, the curators were asked to plant a spinning track and that is where they used the surface to their benefit.
Nothing to take anything away from the Sri Lankan bowlers. They were brilliant with the ball and tangled the Indian batters at every turn. Hence, a 2-0 ODI series win has earned them precious 3 Rating points and now they have overtaken England.
